Welding Engineering Technology department Chair, Jeff Carney said since
its inception seven years ago, high school students have won more than
$25,000 in scholarships to attend Ferris. “There have been 49
participants that have enrolled in Welding Engineering Technology,”
Carney added.

The day-long competition is not just for the students. Instructors from
the participating schools will attend a technical training seminar and
leave with educational materials to use in their instruction.

Ken Kuk, Welding Engineering Technology professor, attributes continued
success to providing a positive experience for both the students and
instructors alike. “The instructors and students continue to tell us how
much they enjoy the event.”
